> The US government is not systematically depriving fraud suspects of due process rights.

No, only in cases where someone having those rights would be a nuisance to the US government.

Manning has been tortured by your government for a long time now, purely because they wanted to make an example out of him. Is that alright?

Basically, if you don't have due process rights whenever the US government unilaterally decides that you don't, then what exactly do the rights matter? Are they even rights anymore?
